Great tour - We really enjoy our visit with Vicente.
Nevertheless, it would be appreciated if the tour provides also a little free time in the city, 20 or 30 mn.

Swakopmund Tour - We had a great trip with Riaan who went the extra mile to make sure myself and my parents enjoyed our tour. We loved seeing the beautiful Art Nouveau buildings. His pride and enthusiasm for his home town were clear. We had a fabulous time and left with memories that will last a lifetime.
The tour was very well organised. Riaan messaged the day before to introduce himself and picked us up straight from the cruise pier the morning of the tour. He was happy to give us extra time for shopping and to tailor the tour so my parents didn’t have to walk too far in one go.

Excellent tour - Highly recommend this trip ,Annis was a tremendous guide,very knowledgeable and informative. He made sure we enjoyed our trip, we had plenty of time for coffee and shopping for souvenirs as well as looking around the town and seeing the sights. Not having to Walvis Bay and Swakamund before we really enjoyed the day... I also would like to commend Viator for the communication they have provided for these trips that we have done ,with coping with all the changes from our itinerary. We really appreciate their understanding with all the changes

A taste of German west Africa - Very interesting city with much German influence and tour guide knew where the places of interest were. If we had been on our own we would have never found most of them

The trip was a lot... - The trip was a lot shorter than expected - only 2.5 hours. It would have been longer if we had paid extra to go into the museum or gone for a coffee etc but we expected the tour to be planned so that it took at least 4 hours. The guide was very good and provided a lot of information. There just wasn’t that much to see. Plus, he had another booking to get back to which meant we couldn’t have had much longer even if we had wanted it.

Do not trust this tour. - They left early without 2 couples. Left us in hot sun for 2 hours. Then put us on short tour to somewhere else as compensation! More went wrong but I waited 1 month before writing this review as I didn't want to be too harsh.
